Produktinformationen zu „The Vanished Land (ePub)“
The Vanished Land is the Western District of Victoria stripped of its identity, its social elite of grazing dynasties departed for their own reasons. The melancholic exodus has increased recently as the myriad pressures of holding inherited land have become intolerable in a nation never intimidated by ditching its past. This historic plain of fecundity demands an investigation of its ending as the home of a ruling class that for 150 years bestrode an Australia riding on the sheep's back. "The Vanished Land" is a human tale of leaving, of a disconnect with the land, of submerged anguish and inhibited grief, a private story of loss told for the first time by an outsider with insider connection.
Autoren-Porträt von Richard Zachariah
Richard Zachariah began as a journalist at the Melbourne "Age" in 1964. Throughout his life he has spent equal time on the land as a farmer and horse breeder, and working in London and Sydney as a newspaper and television journalist and broadcaster. His schoolboy love affair with Victoria's Western District has grown into a bewilderment at the withdrawal of those dominating pastoral dynasties who so impressed him with their elan and the qualities that allowed them to rule this special place. Richard Zachariah now lives in Adelaide with his partner Sarah Hyde.
